A   G   D   A

[Primeira Parte]
Bm E D
At midnight, the dogs gathered around the
A
House
G
Around her house (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Bm E D
Her heart was like a drawer
G D
She only opened when she went
G D
Out to feed those dogs and let her memories
G
Bathe
G E
In the moonlight for a while (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Refrão]
Bm E D
Those were the dogs owned by the girls
A G
Who died in that house (Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm E D G
Meeting every night, keeping vigil in the
D
Place (Oh)
G D
Where their people went away
A G
And so she'd wake the rest of her nights in
A D
That house
A G D
Feeding all the hounds at its mouth

[Instrumental]
A B D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

On her first night wandering through the

Solemn as a bride

That's when she first saw them (Ooh)
D G D
Out the kitchen window right at 12 o'clock
(Ooh)
G E7
A dozen silent dogs of all different type
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Refrão]
Bm E D
She almost was one of the girls
A G
Who died in that house (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Bm E D
So when it was stigmatized
A G
She took it on to start a new life in that
D
House (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
A G D
Be the token coin in its mouth (Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh)
A G
Maybe with enough time tending to that
A D
Ground (Ooh-ooh)
A G D
She can heal the heart of her house (Ooh)
A G D A D
Feeding all the hounds at its mouth (Ooh)
